Double hazard during Eid

Perhaps media's strong coverage compelled the premier to instruct the minister concerned to repair the bumpy and cracked roads and highways before the imminent Eid. But is it possible to finish the work throughout the country by the set time? You don't need to be a specialist to understand that it is an impossible task to even fill up the potholes by that stipulated time. Rather we are afraid that the repair works would create additional traffic jam by blocking parts of the roads in the peak periods of travelling for Eid. We see the ministers and parliamentary bodies are blaming each other for this situation. The situation worsened not overnight. People of this country are not living in fool's paradise and they have the wisdom to identify the responsible departments for this. However, we hope the authorities concerned will not make anybody scapegoat for showing their hyper actions.
